I was a guy who thought $10 mil was the ceiling for a back who does not play much in passing downs/3rd downs.
However, $12 mil a year is only a SLIGHT overpay, and we still have him at $1.7 this year. So for my two cents, that averages out to $10 mil a year.
I am not an expert on NFL contracts, but I assume his signing bonus is part of that $48? And that he gets some of that this year? If both things are true, it looks more like 5/50 rather than 4/48 to me.
Anyway, perhaps a little extra goodwill on this deal (while we have some cap room) buys us a discount on the NEXT deal (if there is one), when things will be tighter.
Burrow. Mixon. Boyd. Green. Williams. Some pretty solid building blocks there, to say the least. We'll see how Higgins, Tate, Ross, the TEs, and the rest of the O-line does. But WR is deep. Hope we keep 7.
